Ok so I am really confused as how to do this. I know a bit about wiring and car audio but I am no expert. So I have two 4 channel amps one mtx and one clarion. I know all the power is correct so i will leave that part out. I have the mtx amp hooked up to my 2 12'' infinity subs right now. I bought 4 rockford fosgate speakers with components ( i know how to do the components). I want to hook the 4 rockford speakers to the clarion amp and keep the subs on the mtx. I would like to do this with the least amount of wiring as possible. I am going to upgrade my power wire and split the remote wire. Do I need two sets of RCAs? Do I need a distribution block? I am not sure if I can do it on my Pioneer DEH-P6700MP deck is this possible?

You need to look at the back of your head unit, if you have a pair of rca cable that say sub out you need to run a set of rca cables to your mtx amp.  If you have a front and a back set of rca's they will also have to be run  to your clario amp,  I would use a distribution  block to split up your power wire, good luck

If you're running two amps, why would you not need two sets of RCA's?  Chances are your deck has at least 2 sets of RCA outputs.  Maybe, I haven't googled it.  But like the other person said, use the sub out for the sub amp and the front and rear for the other speakers.  I'm assuming since you bought 4 speakers that you have a 4-channel amp.  If it is a 4-channel, you don't really need to run two pairs of RCA's to it, but it would be required if you want to fade from front to rear.  If you do have a 4-channel amp, plus the sub amp, the best thing to do is run three RCA's to them.  Or just get a crossover or equalizer with as many RCA outs as you plan to drive.  Then you could just run 1 RCA to that and branch off to your amps from there, but would still need all the RCA's.

Now I see why 175 people read this post but only 1 replied.  It's a trick question!wiring amps, sub, components -- posted image.
